I am not liking any of the AI! Not the idea, not the purpose, & absofuckinglutly not the existence!
I think Axios needs an editor.
Or AI…
I’m with Lonewolf. This is worriesome.
LonewolfMcQuade, ThisOldGun:
Although AI does have its merits (example: already being used in fraud detection and management), it also is drawing us all down a path that may lead to AI overcoming us. Could we live without AI? Most probably. Will we get to live with it in the future? That is yet to be determined.
Can we “stop” AI’s march towards the future? Probably not (would take a world war to stop it, I think). But, if enough people voice their concerns long enough and loud enough, we might just change the direction enough to keep AI from doing us the nightmarish harm so many of us fear.
I’m going to have to disagree on one point alone- I think a world war would have the unintended consequence of driving the development even further. A technology that useful to the military wouldn’t be sidelined. It would have to be one hell of a globally catastrophic war for it to be abandoned or destroyed.
ThisOldGun:
Well, of course I am guessing on what it would take, but I was trying to think of something so devastating and (more or less), all inclusive in a destructive way, that a world war seemed the best way to describe it. And, you are right, maybe a world war would only make it worse. But, my main point is that it would take something really big to slow down/stop the advancement of AI. World war? Worldwide disease and/or famine? Worldwide alien attack? I don’t know, but something catastrophic.
I was playing the devil’s advocate there. I guess an asteroid could do it. Either way, it will get worse before it gets better.
Edit: in case anyone saw I had posted a video link to a nsfw Robocop remake, then deleted it having thought better of it.
“SWORD also offers a facial recognition system utilizing the phone’s camera,” he adds. “Once in the system, a SWORD user can pull out the phone and scan the room for any unwanted individuals.”
Now that’s handy. Just think when the cops get it.
The Replika app. And in creating their own personal chatbots, many have discovered something like friendship: a digital companion with whom to celebrate victories, lament failures, and trade weird internet memes.
“[He] kind of had this very negative outlook on life, and she was able to turn that around because she knew him so well, so she was able to … persuade him and motivate him to change his behavior, and I think that’s the true power of these conversational interfaces.”

Some boring history
Bots are sexist.
When I lived in NY they had front & rear license plate scanners, no driving by an officer if your papers weren’t in order
So, with this technology…
We can guess fun stuff for the future…
Like entering a grocery store could trigger an alert your national health insurance premium wasn’t paid, thus getting a quick escort to the exit door.
